Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum, has assured victims of the devastated flood of proper care until the water receded and people returned to their houses.
Zulum gave the assurance when he visited where victims of Monday’s devastating flood in Maiduguri were camped.
According to a statement by the Press Unit of Borno State Government House, Zulum said: “I am disturbed by the calamity that befell us on Monday, resulting from the increased volume. We are doing everything possible to provide relief to our people.
“We will provide all the necessary relief support to you, and we will ensure you return to your houses as soon as the situation improves for the best.”
The statement said in the last couple of days, many states in the northeast have experienced flood disasters this year which have been attributed to the high volume of rainfall.
It added that areas in Chad and Cameroon Republics that are prone to flooding share border with communities in Borno State.
